The howling wind of the dark night, the dimming of the lanterns, the creak of closed doors opening.

Xia He clenched the lantern pole in his hand, for fear that something in the door would come out. Nalan Lan'er looked up and looked at the door gradually opening, and the wind blowing from inside was a little cold.

Finally, the door opened, and a plain figure appeared in the shadows. She looked at the people outside the door with her hair disheveled. actually said: "Bold little ghost, dare to knock on the mansion of this palace, do you want to be eaten by this palace?" Eat! ”

Yin Zhiyi's voice, the figure in the dark, Xia He's heart was shocked, and he raised the lantern in his hand to illuminate the man's face, and suddenly froze and didn't dare to move.

Nalan Lan'er was not afraid at all, stepped forward and walked into the range of the lantern light, and said coldly: "It's me." ”

The lantern light illuminated Nalan Lan'er's face, and the first emperor and concubine were stunned for a moment, and then continued to say wildly: "Ahhhhh Do you want to pull this palace to hell, you sinner and evil ghost! Go away, go away! ”

Nalan Lan'er said calmly: "This palace has brought you some vegetarian dishes, can you enter the palace for a while?" ”

The former imperial concubine who was called crazy in the door quieted down, as if she was answering, and after standing in the wind for a while, she put her eyes and hands in front of the food box that Xia He was holding in her hand, there was the fragrance of food, she hadn't eaten exquisite dishes for a long time, and the cold palace ate every day, and she was not even full.

Looking at the quiet Nalan Lan'er again, she turned sideways and opened the half of the door, which was regarded as acquiescing to Nalan Lan'er coming in.

Xia He didn't dare to be rude, and walked into the cold palace first, followed by Nalan Lan'er.

After entering the cold palace, the first emperor and concubine closed the door and shouted: "Eat, eat!" ”

Nalan Lan'er walked into the inner hall, although it was simple, it should have everything, it seems that this concubine who was the same period as herself in the past also took a lot of effort to survive in the palace.

The master didn't talk, and Xia He didn't dare to talk, so he silently put down the food box in his hand, and then found a piece of cloth to make the table and chairs worse.

Nalan Lan'er stretched out his finger and wiped it on the table, and then the candlelight saw that there was no dust on the white fingertips, thinking that this former imperial concubine had stayed in this cold palace for several years, and she could be regarded as accepting this kind of life.

Signaling Xia He not to wipe the table anymore, Nalan Lan'er Chong stood not far away and refused to come forward: "Didn't the first emperor and concubine want to eat?" Come and sit down,"

The flat tone was the same as many years ago, the first emperor and concubine's eyes were dark, and she slowly stepped forward to sit opposite her, Xia He opened the food box and began to arrange the meal.

In order to avoid the person in front of him from talking crazy, Nalan Lan'er said: "This palace knows that you are not crazy, this time this palace is looking for you to talk about something, can you eat a hot dish first and then discuss?" ”

Trapped in the cold palace for several years, the former emperor and concubine were already desperate, and an acquaintance came to the door at this time, and they couldn't figure out what they meant for a while. These meals were often eaten by the emperor when she was alive, when she was still a noble concubine, and she still disliked the same dishes at that time, but after being hungry for a few years, it made people's tongues overflow.

After estimating it, the woman in front of her who is the dominant woman in the harem is no longer necessary. sat down generously, and the temperament of the concubine reappeared. "Nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, except for the palace maids who deliver food every day, no one else has set foot in my cold palace, say, what's the matter?"

Nalan Lan'er raised her head and motioned to the first emperor and concubine to eat first. "The affairs of this palace are not in a hurry, the first emperor and concubine still listen while eating, the food is cold and there is no place to be hot, and I am afraid of cold stomachs after eating."

The first emperor and concubine did not shirk, nor did she poison, she lived in this cold palace, but the queen mother let her breathe for her father's sake, she was not afraid if she really wanted to die, who had no hope for a rare life?

Nalan Lan'er also calmed down, and quietly watched the former emperor and concubine eat a small half bowl of rice. Xia He's eyes looked at his nose and nose, his eyes looked at the floor, and he stared at a flower, and he didn't know if his ears were hearing or not. Since Nalan Lan'er dared to take her out, she was still more at ease.

Although the former emperor and concubine have not eaten such a good dish for a long time, but the eater is short of mouth and short of people, she also knows that she should get down to business, "What is the matter with the concubine looking for a concubine?" ”

When the first emperor concubine was alive, Nalan Lan'er had a higher status than her, and she called her sister. Now that she is the concubine of the court, she still has to follow the etiquette.

"The first imperial concubine has lived in this cold palace for several years, but have you ever thought about going out? Your mother's family is still serving in the court, and I think about you too, although I saved my life, I'm afraid I'll never see you again in this life, right? ”

Nalan Lan'er sensed that she was thirsty, Xia He just sent two cups of hot tea, and Nalan Lan'er took a sip, although it was bitter and not good.

The little heart of the former imperial concubine jumped into her throat excitedly by this news, in the end, it was through the wind and waves, how could it be revealed so easily. "Don't be joking, don't be funny, you're not Nalan Yanran? Why did you come to look for a concubine on this autumn night? ”

"What I'm discussing with you is not who this palace is, but whether you want to go out or not." Nalan Lan'er didn't want to answer that question head-on, as long as she admitted it herself, the pain would come from all directions.

The first imperial concubine was also a lord who was angry and couldn't pay for her life, and after seeing Nalan Lan'er's calm face climb up with thin anger at this time, she funnily focused on what she said. "Guifei Niangniang, how are you going to send the concubine out of the palace?"

"This palace naturally has a way to do it, but I'm afraid that the first emperor and concubine are unwilling to leave." Saying that, Nalan Lan'er glanced at the surrounding environment contemptuously, and after sitting for a while, she felt a little cold, not to mention the former imperial concubine who lived all year round?

"The concubine thinks, wouldn't the ghost concubine suddenly want to do a good deed, come at night to bring food to the concubine, and help the concubine?" The first emperor and concubine stared at the face in front of her who was exactly the same as the first queen, it was really hard to imagine that this person was not Nalan Yanran? I heard the maid say that she was an illegitimate daughter?

shivered silently, in fact, she also had a little doubt that Nalan Yanran's temperament would not be as sharp as hers,

Nalan Lan'er really didn't want to go around in circles anymore, but in order to dispel the doubts of the former emperor and concubine, and persuade her to stand on the same front as herself, she had to talk about it.

"No, it's not that the palace will help you, but you will help yourself, we will make a deal, if you deal with the queen mother with the palace, the palace will definitely send you out of the palace after the matter is completed. After leaving the palace, this palace thinks that your life will be better than here. What do you think? ”

Nalan Lan'er smiled lightly and continued to take a sip of tea. He didn't pay any attention to the figure behind him, and froze.

The first imperial concubine's mind was provoked, to be honest, who doesn't want to go out to the cold palace, and if she doesn't go out, maybe she won't be able to survive this winter! But...... When the mind is turning.

Dealing with the incident of the queen mother, it must be a crisis, if she stays in the cold palace in an an, maybe she can survive for a few days, if she is involved in those dirty things, there is no queen behind her. Taiwan has no identity, so he has to be a gunman for Nalan Lan'er. Who is not afraid of rolling over from the three thousand beauties in the harem. Don't talk just to be safe.

She said everything that should be said, and she also believed that the other party was moved, and the rest should be concerns, and there is a concern before doing anything, and she will only say it if she defeats persuasion.

The first imperial concubine also smiled and said, "The concubine Niang Rong concubine wants to reply later?" After thinking about it, the concubine will naturally visit Huayan Palace. ”

The concubines of the current dynasty are naturally not allowed to enter and leave the cold palace, but the concubines of the first emperor are the concubines of the first emperor; I can still get out and walk around once in a while, which doesn't get in the way.

Nalan Lan'er also knew that she couldn't push too hard, her words had already been clarified, and the bait had been placed, so she should go back, otherwise it would make people suspicious.

After looking at these two or three good dishes, he said, "Are these dishes kept here?" ”

The first imperial concubine took two more chopsticks dishes, and sighed a little: "Niangniang withdraw, otherwise people will see the gossip." At this time, she brought a trace of respect to Nalan Lan'er, and the people in the cold palace who could help her get out naturally couldn't be too cold. Even if it's just a hope.

Nalan Lan'er also agreed, signaled Xia He, who had been silent, to clean up, then stood up and said: "The first emperor and concubine think about it, the palace will go back first, if you need anything, just open your mouth and tell the palace, the palace will definitely help." ”

The first imperial concubine nodded, and went all the way to the door, as Xia He opened the squeaky palace door, until Nalan Lan'er walked out and nodded at her, until she watched the door gradually close. Nuoda's cold palace is only herself, there is no servant girl and no slave, how can the prosperity of the past think of today's depression. It shouldn't be, it shouldn't...... Her mother's family is still in the court, but she can only help her save her life.

As the deceased concubine of the former emperor, no one pays attention to it at this time, and naturally no one harms her. But she was unwilling, and now she has a good opportunity to send it to her eyes. She looked back at the bricks behind her, and secretly decided in her heart that she must go out, and she would not hesitate to fight for her life!

She brushed off her messy hair, went into the house to change her clothes and went to bed, fortunately, she was also a former concubine, even if she was waiting for death, the Shangyi Bureau would not cut off her bedding and clothes, but the specifications were according to the rules of the palace maid, which was simply an insult to her identity!

Xia He was lighting the lantern in front, and Nalan Lan'er was walking in a long way, quietly not knowing what to think. After a while, I only heard her say in a cold voice: "Xia He, what happened tonight?" ”

Xia He hurriedly said: "Back to Niangniang, the slave didn't see anything." ”

Nalan Lan'er nodded with satisfaction, took her hand and said, "What should I say and listen to the magazine, I think you should know it after many years in the palace?" ”

Xia He lowered his head and responded: "The slave understands. ”

"Yes."

walked back to Huayan Palace quietly all the way, and saw a figure walking around at the gate of the palace from a distance.

Nalan Lan'er saw at a glance that it was Wan'er, and Xia He naturally did too, and said a little flatteringly: "Niangniang, Sister Wan'er is really interested in Niangniang." ”

Nalan Lan'er glanced at her coldly, and finally didn't say anything, Xia He knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly lowered his head in annoyance.
